A vigorous polemicist as well as a rational philosopher, Aristotle
(384-322 BC) has the task in his ethics of demonstrating how men
become good and why happiness can, and should, be our goal. The
success of Aristotle's endeavour may be measured by the enormous
impact of his ethics on western moral philosophy through the
centuries Composed as mere lecture notes, it possesses a boldness
and represents an exacting, exciting challenge to the reader. By
converting ethics from a theoretical to a practical science, and by
introducing psychology into his study of behaviour, Aristotle both
widens the field of moral philosophy and simultaneously makes it
more accessible to anyone who seeks an understanding of human
nature.
